If the brown shirts or the black hundreds or whatever other fascist gang had been on Facebook, I think we’d be better able to contextualize what’s going on right now. We could both treat the past less previously and also maybe take this more seriously.

The Q freaks are easy to laugh at but those movements did some real damage. While also basically just being your racist uncle or idiot rube coworker or guy in the local news comments or whatever.

The way we consume media has this all outta whack too. If there were selfies and live streams of the beer hall putsch or shit, the Civil War, I bet there’d be some really funny, goony ass moments in there, too.

Conversely, if all the record we had of this shit was a couple of photos and a newspaper article describing it, it’d be fuckin terrifying. Right? Is this anything?

PRECIOUSLY, god damn it.

And I guess black hundreds were pre-fascist. So, whatever, “reactionary goon freaks”.
